JWP yet to decide role in centre

Published November 4, 2002

QUETTA, Nov 3: The high command of the Jamhoori Watan Party has not yet taken any decision about supporting any group or party for the formation of federal government, a JWP spokesman said on Sunday.

The spokesman said the impression that the party had decided to support the PML-Q at the centre was wrong.

“We have not taken such a decision so far,” he said and added that the party’s high command would take a decision in this connection.

The spokesman said the JWP was a part of the Alliance for Restoration of Democracy and would continue to extend its support to the ARD for the restoration of the Constitution, democracy and supremacy of parliament.

However, he said the JWP had not attended many meetings of the ARD in Islamabad, therefore, the party’s central committee would take final decisions on the issues in view of the alliance’s policy and decisions.
